Power cycle public equipment via centralized control

• Turn off all quiescent public computers at a specific time; turn off any public PC quiescent for 30 minutes regardless of time.  Quiescent includes certain programs not loaded.
• Must control PC and Mac
• Must present option on screen to abort power-cycle
• Must use existing central management structure
• Product under review: Faronics PowerSave

The average active, powered-on desktop computer consumes 100

            Combine multiple (logical/virtual) servers into one single (physical) server.  This project is well underway using VMware as a hypervisor

Under review / consideration:

Room occupancy detection interface with classroom technology – turn off Techwall (as well as utilities) when not occupied
